Halloween

We have had such a fun Halloween season (if you call it that). We went to a pumpkin patch where we road on a hay wagon to this field and they dropped us off and let us pick a pumpkin and then came and got us. The twins had such fun time.

We then had a fun time trick or treating with some friends of ours. The twins really started to get into it.

This is our friend Brenden who came with us. He and Lindsey are great friends. At church on Sunday they were holding hands on the way to nursery. Too cute:)

Random Happenings

My goal was to try and be more on the ball with posting like my awesome sister in-laws who are now doing two-three blogs a week. I don't know how they do it. I can't get motivated for some reason. So this post has random things that have happened the last few weeks. Across the street from our house.

One afternoon the twins and I decided to go on a ride on the country roads around our house. I thought this picture was unique with the side mirror showing the road behind us.

One morning Lindsey had been carrying her doll around the house. It was time for breakfast so I told her to go put her baby doll down for a nap. I came into the living room to see that she had dumped the cars out of this bin and put her sleeping baby in it . Too cute!!!!! Such a girl:)

I celebrated my Birthday with my sweet family. Devin made a delicous dinner and got this yummy red velvet cake.

The twins waiting for me to sit down so they can pray.

Lastly, I have been in the baking mood lately. These cinnamon rolls were fun to make and the outcome was so delicious:)

Sweet Grandpa

Here are some adorable pictures with Dylan and Grandpa Pehrson when we visited in September.

For Your Entertainment

Here are some videos from the last few months. I do have to state on video number 2 that Lindsey has never done this again and it is not encouraged... did make for a cute video though.

Random Fun

The Twins and I have been having fun the last few weeks finding new summer activities to do. Here are some pics from our fun.

The twins "castle"

Cute picture of Lindsey!

Handsome Dylan.

Lindsey wearing Dylan's hat. She put it on that way and didn't want to take it off. Made for an adorable picture:)

Newport Beach

We went to the beach on Saturday which is about an hour from where we live. It was so much fun! Dylan has never been so happy for so long. He loved running into the freezing ocean water and watching the waves. Lindsey was happy playing in the sand at first and eventually enjoyed running around on the beach. The happiest of the Lucas clan was our dog Lexie who ran, played and splashed in the water. We are so excited to live so close the ocean and hope this will be a frequent place to spend our days. (I have lots of pictures up... couldn't decide on what pictures where the best. There were to many:)

Dylan being "buried". He thought this was the funniest thing ever!

Alaskan Hwy Part II

Here are a few more pictures of our journey.


This picture was not staged! It happened Devin was driving and received a call from work needing some information on his computer. The twins had been "typing" on their computers before the phone call. I was admiring the view when I turned and look at all three of them on their computers.

Dylan and Daddy on a walk at one of the rest stops.

Lindsey posing her adorable little smile!

Thought that this picture was funny! Lindsey was so excited about this sign. Don't know why but made her happy. Maybe it was because we were finally at a rest area in our home country! Very different from the ones we had been to for the past 6 days.

Swimming! Until this trip the twins had not been swimming. They are starting to enjoy it more and more.

Dylan sporting his handsome smile.

Unpacking at our new home!

Alaskan Hwy Part One

Wanted to document our adventure down the Alaskan Highway. We drove 2600 miles in 7 days with two 18 month olds and a dog! We actually survived this journey and looking back it was an enjoyable ride. The twins did great with movies, snacks, new toys and music. (We probably listened to their favorite CD about 300 times or more. This was the only way they would sleep or be happy when mad) We saw 5 black bears, 5 moose, a ton of buffalo, 4 mountain goats, 1 caribou, and 3 deer. Here are some pictures of the first half of our trip. We have some great video of the twins on our journey that will be posted later.

Our awesome Trailblazer loaded to full capacity. Devin stretching his legs. The twins liked waking up early so this picture was actually taken at 5:45 in the morning. Made for some beautiful scenery.

Lindsey enjoying a few minutes out of the car. This was at a "rest area" in the Yukon Territory.

Dylan chillin in his sunglasses. He loves wearing these things. This was his seat the entire way down.

This caribou crossed the road in front of us and posed for a picture :)

This buffalo also crossed the road. The funny part is that we were in construction zone and there was a lady on some equipment 15 yards from this thing laughing. The Truck behind us stopped, got out (brave man) and took an even closer picture.

Dylan running around in the rain. We tried to stop every two hours which was about 100 miles. We did on average 400 miles a day.

Lindsey love smelling flowers. This picture captures her joy in smelling them.

Our two little moosies. This is in British Columbia I think day 4.

This is in the sign forest in Watson Lake. Day 5. This forest has over 62,000 signs from all over the world. This picture would have been even better if the Idaho plate was a Utah plate but we can pretend.

Another picture of our wonderful Trailblazer.
